VIEWS/DETAILS
Artist’s Interpretation
“I was influenced by Michelangelo’s magnificent Sistine Chapel interpretation. The palm of God’s hand faces the viewer, his strong fingers spread like a fan. I can envision rays of light bursting from each finger and streaming into the firmament. God’s hands reflect age and strength, with tendons and veins bursting with power. Fortunately, because of my age and the degree of my physical fitness, I was able to use my own hand as a model.”
